Title: BW Whereabouts in the Summer of 1965?
Post by: Fall Breaks on March 07, 2009, 10:02:47 AM
Between the last SD(ASN!!) session on June 4 and the first Party! session on September 8, Brian is in the studio only once (to cut "Sloop John B." on July 12). For someone who had recorded and/or toured constantly since late 1961 a break was well deserved, but for three months? What was he up to?

According to more than one source, Brian told Tony Asher upon their first meeting that the BB were several months behind in their new album (according to Capitol), so it's probably likely that Brian was taking a nice long break.

Exactly - but doing what? Did he travel? Hang out with friends? Smoke pot? Sit around the house watching his singles and albums climb to the top of the charts? All of the above? I'm just curious. Must have felt weird (but probably very nice as well) going from a full-time-plus job and down to almost nothing just like that.

Were Little Girl I Once Knew, How deep is the Ocean, Stella by Starlight, and 3 Blind Mice recorded around this time?

He played a few shows too-appeared with the BBs in San Diego and at the Hollywood Bowl the next day (July 3 1965)

Does one of those feature the live recording of Shut Down as heard on Hawthorne, CA? Don't have the CD in front of me as of now.

Nope, that was from a 26th March '65 show in Chicago.

Which is pretty"Brianish" since there are five, not four, possibilities there.

I've never used an emoticon in my life and won't start now but insert a smiley-face here.

Yes! That's a theory that the romantic dude in me likes! ;)

They probably just ate cake frosting and went to Foster's Freeze.
